These are interesting times. The studio is slow. No orders and this is typical for August. However the world is going slowly mad. People are nervous and confused. I won’t go into the details as to why. We don’t do that here. But anyone paying attention to what’s going on in our world will clearly understand.
So I have been doing some August cleaning that has been much needed. Making plans for a new mask sculpture and getting ready for the airshow this weekend at Camarillo Airport.
It’s a wonderful airport (aren’t they all if you love aviation) only 18 minutes from my home. Seems it’s calling to me slowly. I have been attending Civil Air Patrol meetings in preparation for my membership in CAP. I’ll be heading up their Cadet Rocketry program and assisting them on missions. That means going up in their Cessna 182 which I look forward to.
So I’m prepping rockets to put on display, getting out our launch equipment, making up flyers and signs for our table.
I also finished the Super Orbiter Transport in time for the show. I can’t wait to launch this rocket.
It looks like we may have our launch site at long last in Simi Valley. I’ll know more this weekend.
In addition to all that I’m prepping a work area upstairs to build my Luscombe 8E Silvaire. I’m drooling to get this started. The upstairs got pretty messy and after an hour of cleaning I have plenty of workspace for the project(s). I have several planes to build this year.
I still have a painting to finish and more to start this year too. Even when there are no orders there’s plenty to do at SNG studio. Because in our philosophy of things it’s not possible for one to ever in this life to be bored.
In these trying times I find it of great comfort seeing Artemis sitting on the pad about to go on its journey back to the Moon August 29th 2022. All our hopes and dreams.
